R-value measures the resistance of thermal transfer or heat flow from the window. The higher the R-value the better. A typical R-value for the centre of the glass is 2.2, while the entire window would be 1.9. When Low-E and argon gas are added, the R-value typically doubles to about 4, reducing heat loss by approximately 50 per cent.
